New, clean, comfortable hostel near Gojo station”

Stayed here for 2 nights with a friend in their private 2-bed room. There's a sink in the room. Toilets & showers are shared but only few steps from the room and is very clean. The room is also clean and the bunk beds are the most comfortable I've ever slept on. They offer simple breakfast of toast & jam/butter. One free filtered coffee is also available daily upon request. For someone who want to cook, a well-equipped kitchen is there. .5 mins walk from Gojo station, and 15 walk to Shijo where all the shops and restaurants are. Location wise is good and for the price and what they offer it is unbeatable. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

Beautiful clean quiet and excellent facilities ”

It’s a beautiful space that feels like it has been designed with the intention of quality and giving value. Everything was maintained super clean. I particularly liked the fact that they gave us fresh towels every morning. Wow, that’s cool. You would have to pay for that extra at most hostels.

R. Star Hostel is close to Gojo subway station, which just took a 5-min walk. Their dorm room, toilet and bathroom are very clean. I loved that they have separated toilets and bathrooms specialized for girls. Besides, the bed was very comfortable and got a curtain for privacy. They also provided free breakfast which has three types of bread and coffee. Last but not least, their staffs were very nice!

Nice place in Kyoto”

Had a room with a private bathroom. Room was a bit small but it wasn't a problem for us. It was clean and modern. The hostel is within walking distance to a lot of restaurants and Nishiki Market. About 15 min walk. Breakfast was a bit dissapoiting, only toast and jam. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Wifi was good as well.

Very clean, good location.”

Overall is good, will back to this hostel if travelling to Kyoto again.
However, it will be better if there’s private bathroom in the room. Too bad that room type has been fully occupied on the date.
